Hi there, did these responses answer your question? If so, please mark one or more as a "good answer". If not, please let us know so that we can help sort things out for you. Thanks! Christy

Thank you for the reply Abe. Perhaps I am not following. The crawl report has distinct columns for Internal Links and External Links per page. According to the description of the report (What's included in my Crawl Test report?): Internal Links    Number of links on a page that point to the same domain as that page. Linking Root Domains    Number of root domains that link to this page. External Links    Number of links on a page that point to a page that is not on the same domain as that page. Referring again to actual pages from the report: Page / Internal Links / Linking Root Domains / External Links http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events / 800 / 1 / 0 http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact / 800 / 1 / 0 http://www.phase1tech.com/FLIR-Cameras / 724 / 1 / 0 Is the report incorrect then?

Thanks for the heads up and kudos for getting this figured out The workaround you found definitely doesn't sound ideal. I'll forward this along as feedback to our Product team for you to see if we can get a better solution in place.

Hi In Open Site Explorer, there are various filters for the Inbound Links report. By default it shows "all" links from "all" pages to "this page" (i.e. the page at the URL entered). But you can change the filters to show links that are from "external" or "internal" pages to "pages on this sub-domain" (e.g. www.) or "pages on this root domain". Yes, different tools will show different results especially for external inbound links due to the nature of how much of the web they crawl. In those cases, I would always look at the highest figure on the basis that the crawler that reported was able to crawl more pages and find more inbound links. I hope that helps, Peter
